This is really a skillfully tooled game but ...
it's simply too hard. Everything is drawn, animated, and/or configured perfectly but you've made it much too hard. I admire your efforts. This is truly a great collaboration. As far as I got, not a single button or action didn't work nor were the graphics overlapping or not covering something. The difficulty just ruined it for me though. rock_lobster is right in saying that the first enemy (Thieves are they?) can beat you quite easily. You just need to make the thieves attack less, or at least the first few thieves. I hate to do it, I really do, but, Teh n00b cries: BLAM!
